It takes a fool to learn that loves don't love nobody.
Lyrics of a famous Spinners song speaks truth.
Quit, just quit loving a fool that loves prison.

Yes, the prison plantation.
Sure, at no times do we know if or not we will ever go.

But those constantly going back and forth.
Just quit supporting them.
Didn't say stop loving them.

A woman at home raising the child/children.
An only a foolish phone calls every now and then to soothe them.

The hustler or pharmaceutical supplier to a weak soul.
Who the system will let out?
Cause odds are high they will return again.

Quit, being used by the system.
Counselors easy to manipulate in prison.
Unless you meet a serious tough as nail kind.
Not playing into your tricks.

Quit, being kind when they tough love works.

The Prison Plantation only differences you get paid.
Yes, not a lot and deservingly so.
Prison not going to be every soul home.

But quit blaming prison for the minds of fools.
Acting out behind the walls deserved to be corrected.
But quit not holding fools accountable.

They your sisters/brothers/mothers/fathers/friends.
Sometimes doing the same thing just stupid.
